TRAINING

“Where does one start to self-reflect on the amazing course that Kennards Self Storage and our teammates helped and supported us to participate in. Meeting new Team Members from other centres was again a wonderful experi- ence, given that it was our first time meeting each other it’s nice that we bonded as a group and got along well. The PEP course is excellent, Tim Ferris was a fantastic facilitator and guided us to learn more about self-development and the many styles of communication. I highly recommend that anyone who has the chance to participate in PEP most definitely should. For me I developed a much better understanding of how other people react to our actions and also the ‘why’ behind the way they react. The whole journey of self-awareness and reflection can be a challenging process but ‘what does not destroy us makes us stronger’ and I would like to think I’m a ‘stronger’ more aware person now. So a huge thank you to all that made this PEP possible. Bill you were a great support; Sam for allowing this type of course to be available; Darren for stopping by for dinner; Wayne Birch for encouraging me to apply; John Fenton for managing the centre while I was away. And the Kennards family for being a great bunch of people.” “PEP surprised me as I went into it thinking it was solely a team building exercise, but to a greater degree it was a self-discovery process. I came away from it with a lot of knowledge about myself and the tools to implement some changes. It really clarified the OCI Circumplex and taught me that getting into the Blue is about small tweaks not major overhauls. The venue was great and the Team was fantastic. I highly recommend it.” Emma Whetnall Assistant Manager - Abbotsford1

“For me PEP was a very valuable experi- ence giving me greater insight into my thought processes, feelings and emotions and providing ideas and tools for better managing situations both in and out of the workplace, improving my interactions with both Team Members and people in general. I can highly recommend PEP if you want to understand yourself better and want to put those understandings and learnings to practical use to improve your work / life. Thanks Bill. I’m glad I went.”

“I didn’t really know what to expect going into PEP and I found it to be a truly humbling and fantastic experi- ence. It has had an immediate positive impact on how I deal with situations both professionally and personally and I recommend everyone to put their hand up to attend future courses. It was the perfect environment to open up and share thoughts and problems and gain an insight to how we really can improve ourselves.”
